Re: 1/2 studio scale Offworld Blimp - MOVING AHEAD!

Hehe, yeah, I can't be serious.

It's going to be lit with LEDS in the end :)
 
Re: 1/2 studio scale Offworld Blimp - MOVING AHEAD!

GTFOH!, but really stop what you are doing and go see it today, do it NOW!!
 
Re: 1/2 studio scale Offworld Blimp - MOVING AHEAD!

Re: 1/2 studio scale Offworld Blimp - MOVING AHEAD!

Here is something fun (prepping the footage/ideas for the screens on the blimp - decided to do a dry run with this) - I have made a video screen play all of the footage from the ads in Blade Runner. I added a soundtrack using a Vangelis song, and the Japanese song which was also in the film.... I will add this to the side of a building model I plan to scratch build, so it looks like it is from Blade Runner. It will be a nice base for a Spinner model!!

I made a lighting neon sign for the last base I did for a spinner, but this is even better!

Just read through the whole thread, Jason. Boy, you've had some fun and games getting it to this stage, but it's a superb project and a cool model to bring to life. Glad it's worked out - looks stunning. :love
This is going to be a massive crowd puller with everything lit and playing if/when you show it at the next WF. Going to show it there?

As for not seeing BR, MonsieurTox, hopefully when you do it will blow your socks off as it did me when I saw it first, many (too many :unsure) years ago. You've got a true classic, cult, gorgeous film to look forward to, now! Make sure you've got the "Do Not Disturb" sign on the door, beers etc ready and the lights off. Let us know what you think of it afterwards?
